They say your wedding day is the most important day of your life, and if you manage to find the right person, that is true.

Surprise is the most important thing
Let’s face it, if you’ve been dating for 5 years and said the ‘L’ word countless times, then you need to get a bit creative with the marriage proposal to actually surprise her. There actually are studies that show that brides don’t quite often get surprised by the proposal, which is a real bummer. Try to think out of the box and go for something other than going to the fanciest restaurant in town –– which you normally can’t afford –– and putting the ring in the champagne and risk her choking on the ring. For your bride to be, if the surprise factor isn’t there, then your proposal didn’t work.
The ring matters
While most women would refuse to acknowledge it, the ring does matter, unfortunately for many guys. You can’t just go off and buy any ring you can come across or anything within your budget. Getting random and expensive diamonds is not the answer, either. Your ring needs to show the woman you love that you know her. When you find the right store to give you guidance on where you can get the perfect diamond, regardless of whether they are oval shaped or loose diamonds, they are bound to help you pick out the perfect one for your partner. So a little effort is expected, wanted, and encouraged, because something that might seem trivial to you as the wedding ring might prove more significant than you could possibly imagine.

Cater to her needs
It’s important to cater your future wife’s needs before she even is so. If she has a favorite spot on the beach or a favorite location, use that to your advantage and incorporate that into your proposed scheme.
If your girlfriend is close to her father and you know for a fact that she would prefer if you got his permission and blessing, then regardless of how you feel about the man, you should go and ask his blessing. This is how you get over your personal feelings to make the perfect proposal for her.
Choose your words
Believe it or now, getting on your knees and flashing a ring are not going to cut it. You need to put some effort into coming up with words that are true, and from the heart. Many women in studies have stated that, if they could, they’d change the speech of their spouses while they proposed. So do pay attention to that because it just takes a little effort to say something meaningful.

Why are proposal important?
Regardless of what you may think of the proposals, they do matter, if not for you then for her. A proposal simply shows your lady that you care, and that you’re willing to put in the effort and go the extra mile to do something that you might not find interesting, but you know would be for her. The amount of effort and heart you put into a proposal quite often shows what kind of dedication you’re willing to put into a marriage. So, do yourself a favor and don’t take it lightly. If she’s worth getting married, then she’s definitely worth a beautiful proposal that she’d remember all her life.
